  • the container may include a sidewall and a number of indentations formed in the sidewall.
  • One or more of the indentations may include one or more reinforcements formed therein.
  • the pressure resistant thermoplastic container further may include a pressurized beverage therein.
  • the pressurized beverage may be pressurized up to about one hundred (100) pounds per square inch (about seven (7) bar).
  • the container may be made out of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or similar types of materials.
  • the sidewall may include a grip portion.
  • the indentations may include a number of channels.
  • the channels may include a first end, a middle portion, and a second end.
  • the first end and the second end may include the reinforcements formed therein.
  • the middle portion may lack the reinforcements.
  • the indentations may include a first column on a first side of one of the reinforcements and a second column on a second side of the reinforcement.
  • the first column and the second column may be indented portions and the reinforcement may include a raised rib or an indented rib.
  • a third column and a second raised or indented rib also may be used.
  • the indentations may include a bowed surface and the reinforcement may include the apex of the bowed surface or a rib formed in the bowed surface.
  • the rib may be an indented rib.
  • the present application further describes a pressure resistant thermoplastic bottle.
  • the bottle may include a sidewall and a number of indentations formed in the sidewall.

  • the bottles described herein are intended to be used with a fluid 10 .
  • the fluid 10 may be a pressurized beverage 20 such as a carbonated soft drink and the like.
  • the carbonated soft drink may develop a significant internal pressure given the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved therein.
  • the bottles described herein also may be used with other types of pressurized beverages.
  • water products may be pressurized with a volume of nitrogen following filling so as to maintain the bottle with a rigid feel.
  • Other types of pressurized beverage or other types of fluids may be used herein.

  • the grip portion 130 may have a number of channels 200 formed therein. In this example, the channels 200 are largely elongated indented portions formed within the wall of the bottle 100 .
  • the channels 200 may take any desire size or shape. Although the channels 200 are shown as extending vertically up and down the grip portion 130 , the channels 200 may extend in any desired direction.
  • the bottle 110 has four (4) channels 200 , but any number of channels 200 may be used herein.
  • Each of the channels 200 may have a first end 220 , a middle portion 230 , and a second end 240 .
  • the first end 220 may include a first column 250 , a rib 260 , and a second column 270 .
  • the second end 240 also includes the first column 250 , the rib 260 , and the second column 270 .
  • the middle portion 230 has no such internal structure.
  • the columns 250 , 270 are indented portions and the rib 260 is a raised portion.
  • the ribs 260 act as reinforcing structure for the ends 220 , 240 and the channel 200 as a whole.
  • the ribs 260 may take any desired shape and size.
  • the respective first columns 250 , ribs 260 , and second columns 270 may have differing sizes and shapes.
  • the corners of the columns 250 , 270 and the ribs 260 generally are curved to prevent delamination.
  • the first end 220 may have a width of about 0.45 inches (about 11.4 millimeters) and a length of about 0.9 inches (about 23.2 millimeters).
  • the first column 250 of the first end 220 may have a depth of about 0.035 inches (about 0.9 millimeters) and a beginning width of about 0.2 inches (about 4.9 millimeters).
  • the rib 260 may start with a width of about 0.15 inches (about 3.8 millimeters) and then disappear in width and depth as the channel 200 moves towards the middle portion 230 .
  • the second column 270 may have a similar depth and a beginning width of about 0.1 inches (about 2.7 millimeters).
  • the second end 240 may have a width of about 0.2 inches (about 5.7 millimeters).
  • the first column 250 of the second end 240 may have a beginning width of about 0.06 inches (about 1.6 millimeters) and a depth of about similar to that of the first end 220 .
  • the rib 260 may start with a width of about 0.09 inches (about 2.2 millimeters) and then disappear in width and depth as the channel 200 moves towards the middle portion 230 .
  • the second column 270 may have a beginning width of about 0.07 inches (about 1.9 millimeters) and a similar depth. These dimensions may vary as desired.
  • the dimensions of the channel 200 as a whole, the first end 220 , the middle portion 230 , and the second end 240 as well as the respective columns 250 , 270 , and ribs 260 may vary as desired. More important than the various dimensions is the ratio of the width of the columns 250 , 270 and the ribs 260 .
  • the first end 220 is wider than the second end 240 .
  • the rib 260 of the first end 220 is wider than the rib 260 of the second end 240 .
  • the middle portion 230 needs no rib 260 because it is a relatively narrow portion of the channel 200 and can withstand the internal pressures.
  • the depth of the channels 200 may reach about 0.2 inches (about five (5) millimeters) or more depending upon the overall geometry of the bottle 100 .
  • the grip portion 130 also may include a number of grip panels 280 .
  • Other designs may be used herein.
  • the panels 290 , 310 also may have an indication of the source formed therein.
  • the grip panels 280 may have a sinusoidal top and bottom 340 , 350 . Any desired shape, however, may be used herein.
  • the grip panels 280 make the bottle 110 as a whole easy to grip and provide the consumer with a tactile sense.
  • FIG. 4 shows a bottle 360 with one or more channels 200 with multiple ribs 260 positioned therein.
  • each of the channels 200 may have the first end 220 , the middle portion 230 , and the second end 240 .
  • the first end 220 may include a first column 365 , a first rib 370 , a second column 375 , a second rib 380 , a third column 385 , a third rib 390 , and a fourth column 395 .
  • the number of ribs 370 , 380 , 390 as well as the number of columns 365 , 375 , 385 , 395 may vary as desired.
  • the ribs 370 , 380 , 390 may be raised or indented.
  • the middle portion 230 and the second end 240 may have similar dimensions to those described above.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show an alternative embodiment of a bottle 400 as is described herein.
  • the bottle 400 also includes a number of channels 200 with the first end 220 , the middle portion 230 , and the second end 240 .
  • the first end 220 has an overall width of about 0.35 inches (about 8.96 millimeters).
  • the first end 220 of the channel 200 also includes a first column 420 , a rib 430 , and a second column 440 .
  • the first column 420 is indented as compared to the rest of the grip panel 130 in a manner similar to that described above.
  • the first column 420 may have an indentation that varies from about 0.06 inches (about 1.5 millimeters) to about 0.02 inches (about 0.5 millimeters).
  • the rib 430 in this example is further indented as compared to the raised rib 260 described above. In this example, the indented rib 430 has a further depth of about 0.2 inches (about 0.6 millimeters).
  • the second column 440 may have a depth similar to the first column 420 but may have less width.
  • the use of the indented rib 430 also provides the necessary structural support for the channel 410 as a whole.
  • the middle portion 230 and the second end 240 may be proportionally dimensioned as above. Other sizes and shapes may be used herein.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show a further embodiment of a bottle 450 as is described herein.
  • the bottle 450 includes a number of channels 460 .
  • the 460 channels include the first end 220 , the middle portion 230 , and second end 240 .
  • the surface of the channels 460 is bowed throughout such that it presents a relatively smooth surface.
  • the first end 220 may have a width of about 0.44 inches (about 11 millimeters).
  • the first end 220 may have an original depth of about 0.4 inches (about 1 millimeter), returns to the original height, and then once again descends.
  • the middle portion 230 and the second end 240 may be similarly shaped.
  • the apex 470 of the bowed shape acts as a reinforcement similar to the use of the ribs described above.
